  • The Singular Fatal Mistake Service Businesses Make with Opt-Ins, MQLs & SQLs
    Jan 20 2026

    Are you drowning your leads with follow-up after follow-up? It’s a mistake many service-based businesses make, thinking more is better. But in reality, too much follow-up could be killing your sales instead of helping them.

    In today’s episode, we dive into a common problem many health and wellness businesses face: low conversion rates after generating quality leads. Lauren shares an in-depth example from one of her clients who was generating tons of leads but only achieving a 5% booking rate. We explore why this happens and how you can fix it.

    From the crucial need for accurate data tracking to the importance of defining a "qualified lead," we outline the tweaks to your sales funnel that will boost lead conversions and significantly reduce your marketing spend.


    In This Episode:

    - Case study of high leads and low conversion rates

    - Sample lead qualification and conversion framework

    - Estimating the value of opt-ins

    - The correct sequence of contacting leads

    - Episode wrap-up and call-to-action

    Through real-world examples in highly competitive spaces, John reveals how creative diversification and understanding Meta's Andromeda update unlock massive cost reductions. His team has managed to acquire new customers for less than the cost of a click, something that would be nearly impossible if you used traditional Google Ads.

This isn't just about theory; it’s a strategy backed by data and results. Join us now to discover how you can tweak your current campaigns to reduce cost-per-acquisition and increase your ad performance.
